NPC CONTACT

premise ⬥ taken ⬥ faq ⬥ navigation

The Velvet Room exists between the consciousness and subconsciousness. It is inaccessible by characters who do not wield a Persona or have lost their Persona for various different reasons. In fact, its entire existence is limited only to Persona users and to the regular individual, they will not be able to even see the entrance to the room. Although it is stationed primarily in the castle, the entrance of the Velvet Room may also be found in various different locations, such as by the dungeons and the shrine. Sometimes, there may be a "malfunction" and an ordinary door will actually lead into the Velvet Room. Why does that happen? Well... perhaps characters will have to ask the attendants for that answer.

Within the room, two attendants occupy the space. These attendants act as guides and will perform various different duties in order to assist the characters. They will pass on plot information, answer questions, give out requests (with the promise of a reward, of course), forge magic-infused weapons, heal, and such on. Requests, in particular, are given out ICly and OOCly monthly and may be undertaken by any character who wishes to complete them. Please see the first toplevel of this entry for more information.

The attendants may be regularly contacted by entering the Velvet Room and, as a result, players may comment to this entry to interact with either attendant. Players may specify which attendant that they'd like to interact with or allow the mods to choose. These threads may be used towards AC and bonus activity. However, due to the attention-intensive nature of NPC threads, these threads may be quickly wrapped up in order to save time for the mods.

→ VELVET ROOM ATTENDANTS

🢒🢒 minato The attendant you might have to wake up, pretending to be asleep so you have to bother Souji instead of him. His requests tend towards what he wants to do or eat at the moment, but he seems to enjoy seeing the world, though he isn't always good company. Seriously. Go bother Souji instead.

🢒🢒 souji The more talkative attendant between the two, though he could say some pretty bizarre things. He also seems overly fond of cats for some reason and will unironically go "nya". His requests normally seem to involve taking him out somewhere or bringing him particularly... strange objects.

[ well, it's not like souji isn't concerned but there's no point making terry worried about it. this is their business, not terry's. ]

What about them?

[overstrain]

Well, uh... they showed up again recently. They said something cryptic and then just literally vanished. I can't use my ability on them because it gets blocked off for some reason. Anyway, they said something like "rely not on borrowed strength which will be repaid in due course, but strength from within which will not forsake".

[ His memory is actually better compared to before, and it only really shows when he tries to remember more recent things, as opposed, to like... forty thousand years ago. ]

I know they're talking about Persona powers and whatever powers I have, but the thing I don't understand is which one is the sentence referring to in what part? I feel like it could fit in either way depending on how you see it, but I wanted to get a second opinion from someone.

[tarotcards]

[ souji raises a hand to place it under his chin, his thumb pressed against the corner of his mouth. he looks downwards as he thinks, repeating that phrase in his head. as he speaks, he still looks at nothing in particular. ]

... was this message directed specifically towards you or in general?

[overstrain]

We were sitting in front of each other one-on-one, but I feel like this statement doesn't just mean me alone. If that makes sense...?

[ Like Terry is some kind of middleman to tel everyone else. ]

[tarotcards]

[ he nods. that definitely makes sense. ]

If that's the case... perhaps the "strength within" refers to your Persona powers. Personas are, after all, ultimately your own powers. You were just given the proper devices to summon them.

[overstrain]

Does that mean the "borrowed powers" are stuff we're more used to where we came from? They're not exactly borrowed though...

[ This is so confusing, but in a place where Personas seem more prominent, he'll just have to agree the "power from within" is referring to Personas". ]

It sounds like karma will hit me if I keep using my own powers. But the other thing I don't get is that I don't know why we need this reminder.

[ Maybe it's not for everyone else, but Terry is dumb and is not thinking about his own things. He's been using his Persona less and less since he came here in July. ]

[tarotcards]

[ souji stays quiet for another second as he considers the words once again. ]

... "borrowed powers" could refer to your friends - other Persona users. Learn to depend on yourself rather than others or something might happen.

[overstrain]

[ Terry raises both eyebrows at Souji's guess. ]

That's weird, because I thought you guys were trying to persuade us to work together and stuff.

[ But he's glad for the second opinion. ]

Thanks for your input though, Souji. I couldn't make heads or tails of that...

[tarotcards]

Mm, that's true and I do believe that you should work together, but that doesn't mean you should slack off on working on yourself. If you get separated or something happens where you have to fight on your own, you'd need to rely on yourself.

[ aka don't be dependent on the team ]

But of course. I don't know if I helped, but you're more than free to visit and ask whatever you want.

[overstrain]

[ It's so weird to suddenly shift to individualistic from teamwork, since he remembers that's what his friends kept telling him to do, to depend on them. He feels a strange emotion bubble up from within him. ]

Alright. You helped a lot though. Thanks. I'll come visit another time... I hope Minato will get well soon too.

[tarotcards]

[ he nods. ]

Thanks. I'll let Minato know that you've visited. Come back anytime, Terrence, whenever you want to help me get dressed.

[overstrain]

As if!!

[ Get Minato to do it for you!!! Terry leaves in a huff.

See you soon in another thread soujikins ]
